The Let's Talk Relationships Podcast

When Robin first met Mike, every sign pointed to walk away.
He was 16 years older, already a grandfather, and (in her words) “everything about this was a hard pass.”

But then something happened.

In this episode, my dear friends Mike and Robin Evans share their 33-year love story: how an unlikely connection through a divorce recovery ministry turned into a marriage that has lasted over three decades. We talk about the spark that caught them off guard, the challenges of blending families, navigating an age gap, and the deep work that’s kept them committed through every high and low.

It’s real, it’s funny, it’s raw… and you’ll walk away believing that love can show up in the most unexpected ways.

1:1 Coaching with Beatrice
Dating and relationships can bring up confusion, self doubt, or emotional activation, even for people who are thoughtful, self aware, and growth oriented. When the same patterns keep repeating, it’s often a sign something deeper is asking for attention. I work one on one with people navigating this, helping them build the emotional security and clarity needed for healthy, aligned relationships.

This week, we’re continuing the Let’s Talk Marriage series with Ash and Sibs Meaney. Married for 32 years, their story offers a heartfelt look at what it really takes to build a lasting, faith-filled relationship. Ash has been a spiritual mentor in my life over the past few years, and it was such a gift to sit down with him and Sibs for this conversation.

We talk about how they met, what it looked like to come to faith after they started dating, and the lessons they’ve learned through marriage, ministry, and raising a family. They share openly about the challenges they’ve faced, the rhythms that keep them grounded, and the ways they’ve chosen love even when it wasn’t easy.

Whether you’re dating, married, or somewhere in between, this episode is full of warmth, wisdom, and hope for anyone who wants to grow in love and grow together.

Welcome to the Let’s Talk Marriage series. This is a space where we’re pulling back the curtain on real marriages at every stage — from the honeymoon phase to the hard seasons no one talks about. We’re sitting down with couples who are choosing each other every day and asking what it really takes to build a lasting, loving relationship. No fluff. No filters. Just honest conversations, hard earned lessons, and a whole lot of heart.

I’m so excited to kick this off with Emily Gough and Kelly Gardner — two grounded, thoughtful relationship coaches who also happen to be newlyweds. They share the story of how they met, the healing they had to do before finding each other, and what it’s been like to build a conscious, blended partnership. We talk early challenges, lessons from past relationships (including a 7-year marriage and a 9-year relationship), and what it really takes to grow together while stepping into new roles as partners, spouses, and parents. Whether you're single, dating, or deep in partnership, this one’s full of wisdom and heart.

If you keep finding yourself in the same painful relationship patterns; attracting emotionally unavailable partners, feeling anxious or shut down, or struggling to understand why love feels so hard. You’re not alone.

These patterns are often rooted in deep, unconscious beliefs shaped by your early attachment experiences.

Get ready for a real one. In this episode, I’m joined by the wise, grounded, and always honest Louis Pisano, and we’re talking all things dating, heartbreak, and modern masculinity.

We swap stories, get personal, and explore everything from getting your heart broken (and putting it back together) to figuring out what we actually want in a partner. Louis opens up about how a breakup sparked some serious self growth, and we dive into why clarity and intention are everything when it comes to dating.

Plus, some spicy hot takes: how fast is too fast to move from talking to dating to the real thing? What are the biggest red (and green) flags? And is it time we all stop waiting around for the other person to make the first move?

Whether you're in the dating trenches or just love a good relationship convo, this one’s for you.

Why is dating today so exhausting these days? In this episode, I’m joined by Sam Whitney, author of How to Date Authentically, to unpack what’s really going on in the modern dating world.

From the rise of self-focused dating to the pressure of performance and perfection, we explore why nearly half of Americans say dating feels harder now than it did ten years ago. Sam shares his take on how our expectations, our "nope lists," and even our fear of being embarrassed by a partner are shaping the way we approach love — and often keeping us from the very thing we want most.

If you’re tired of the dating games and craving something real, this conversation is a breath of fresh air.

About Sam Whitney 

Sam Whitney is the author of How to Date Authentically: End the Dating Game and Find Lasting Love, a breakthrough guide that helps singles cut through the noise of modern dating and build real, lasting connections. With a background in leadership development and years of coaching individuals through meaningful personal transformation, Sam brings a fresh, deeply honest perspective to relationships. His work challenges the surface-level strategies of typical dating advice and instead invites readers to date with purpose, integrity, and clarity, starting from the inside out.

What if conflict could actually bring you closer?
This week, I’m joined by conflict resolution specialist, relationship coach and registered psychotherapist Tannaz Hosseinpour, and we’re diving into a topic many of us try to avoid conflict. But here’s the thing: when handled with care and curiosity, conflict can strengthen your connection.

Tannaz shares her unique journey from conflict law to relationship coaching, and we talk about the key skills that help us show up better in tough moments—like emotional regulation, validation, and knowing when to pause. She also introduces the six tanks of intimacy (spoiler: there’s more to it than just physical connection), and why it’s important to nurture each one.

We’re getting real about what healthy conflict actually looks like and sharing tools you can start using today; from nervous system regulation to practical scripts. Whether you're single, dating, or deep into a long-term relationship, this one is full of gems.

In my first ever solo episode (!) I’m opening up about some major life shifts: turning 35, leaving my corporate job in commercial real estate, and taking a huge leap of faith toward the work I feel truly called to do.

I talk about what it’s looked like to slow down, get quiet, and actually listen—to myself, to God, and to the gentle nudges that come with closed doors and unexpected redirections.

From health to friendships to family (especially aging parents), I’m sharing what’s been on my heart lately and where I see this next season of life and this podcast going. Oh, and I’ve got some exciting news to share: I’m officially becoming a certified relationship and life coach.

If you’re navigating your own season of change, this one’s for you.
